Hey there, y’all. I know it’s been been awhile since my last recipe post, and I apologize for that. Even though I’ve been feeling better sickness-wise over the past couple of months, my energy level has seriously tanked. This pregnancy has truly thrown me for a loop and I am in countdown to baby-time! I’ve got roughly seven weeks to go and could not be more ready to meet our little guy!
 
Crockpot Chicken and Noodles - a comforting, home cooked meal made right in your slow cooker. Something that has been helping, at least where meal times are concerned, has been my trusty crockpot. I’ve been making a lot of our slow cooker favorites, including Cheesy Crockpot Tortellini, Cilantro Lime Chicken Tacos, and Loaded Potato Soup. 

I have gotten so achey and uncomfortable over the past few weeks, and my feet and back throb by the end of the day. Standing over the stove making dinner feels like torture on my sore body, so being able to throw everything I need to make this Crockpot Chicken and Noodles into the slow cooker at the beginning of the day has been a lifesaver.

These Crockpot Chicken and Noodles are a family favorite and I’ve been making it for awhile now. I use the same spices in it that I do for my Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings, and it creates a deliciously savory sauce for the chicken and noodles to cook in. My kids devour this one, and it tastes SO good as leftovers the next day, too. We usually eat this with either a salad or some roasted veggies like broccoli or asparagus, and there are never any complaints at the table when I make this!

Now, this recipe does use cream of chicken soup, and while I know not everyone is crazy about cream soups these days, I actually have a brand that I really like and that doesn’t contain a lot of junk in the ingredients list.

An easy version of the comfort-food classic that simmers away all day in the crockpot.

If you’ve never tried the Organic Cream of Chicken Soup from Pacific Foods, it’s really good stuff! It has great flavor and I feel a lot better about the ingredients, too. I like to use it in my Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings recipe, too, and also in Slow Cooker Loaded Potato Soup.

Crockpot chicken and noodles is pure comfort food in our home. Easy and inexpensive, it pleases everyone.........even picky-picky husband !!

This is one of those super yummy recipes that just doesn't photograph well......... but trust me, it's GOOOOOOD !!!

Recipe Easy Crockpot Chicken And Noodles

• 1 pound of boneless-skinless chicken breast
• 2 10.75 ounce cans of cream of chicken soup
• 4 cups of chicken broth or stock
• 1 small onion diced
• 1 cup chopped celery
• 1 large carrot grated
• 1 cup peas
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Flat wide egg noodles

• Spray your Crockpot with a little cooking spray to make cleanup easier. This recipe (as written) requires a nice big Crockpot. If you only have a smaller one, just make half of the recipe.
• Dice the onion and celery and grate the carrot. Sautee in a little butter until the onions and celery soften a little.
• Put the sautéed veggies, soup, broth and pepper into the Crockpot and stir or whisk it around until it is smooth. Add whole (boneless-skinless) chicken breasts and cook on low for three hours.
• After 3 hours, the broth will look a little thin, but that's ok because the noodles with thicken it as they cook. Remove the chicken and cut it into pieces, then return it to the Crockpot.
• After 3 hours (on low), add about 3-4 cups UNCOOKED egg noodles and the peas. The noodles will expand (and drink up some of the gravy) so be careful how many noodles you add. It also depends on what KIND of noodles you use, so use your best judgment as to how many dry noodles you put in.
• Depending on what style noodles you are using, it can take as little as 20 minutes for the noodles to cook. If you use a thicker noodle like a Penne, it can take as much as 45 minutes.

If you use the flat egg style noodles, be careful how vigorously you stir them, because they break easily once they start to get soft.  ENJOY !!
